Any reason this is on abecorn rather than the standard JeffyJeff's OLWLG?

I understand your apprehension on trying something new/different, but using abecorn

-You can post cash (and auto want cash entries for your game's value)-You can import all your BGG data and post all of your entries at once rather than one by one. (You can also post anything from the BGG database or create a custom entry as well).-You can duplicate protect with a single button. You can duplicate protect items with different names.-It's mobile friendly-No waiting for sync-More integrated with BGG trade manager. Results will auto post to BGG.-You have the option to "click all" instead of one by one.-Multiple methods to communicate to fellow BGG traders-It's being updated constantly thanks to all the great feedback from BGG users (feedback roadmap)

If you try, please feel free to post feedback (positive or negative) so we can improve it further.

I can only add games if they're in my collection? This is already feeling quite limiting...

You can add them from your owned games/for trade/any game on BGG or any custom entry you want to enter as well. There is a different filter under the "Add games" tab that lets you select owned rather than "for trade".

Oh so they don't have to be in your collection at all? Nice

If they're already in your BGG collection it saves you to have to manually search for them or create a custom entry.

What if we are only going to the convention on Sunday? Will there be a drop off/pick up point similar to Strategicon's math trade?

Since the trade isn't associated directly with the Con, it might be difficult to coordinate that.

I'll be at the hotel until Sunday around lunch, but with the nature of math trading, I'll have to leave it up to the individuals involved to coordinate, using me as an intermediary if that works logistically.

I will contact the people I am hoping to trade with personally to see if they can do Sunday then.

Would you prefer, email/geekmail/text or a combination of those? What sort of time intervals would you prefer? Every entry, every hour, or a daily digest?

Yes, and yes. Options are nice.

I have geekmail forward to email so those are interchangeable. Text would be useless for me.

Every item seems like too much, but might work for some people for smaller trades. I would probably choose daily, but in a big trade with lots of activity, maybe hourly.

But notifications aren't really critical for me. The main thing I would like, which I don't think was a feature last time I checked, was for the system to know which items I had already seen, which ones i hadn't (like the OLWLG does). Always starting with the newest and having to recognize/remember when to stop looking because I'm into games I already saw is mildly annoying.

There's a red label that says "NEW" on entries that have been listed since the last time you've visited the site. The listings retain the "NEW" label for an hour after that.

Yeah, that's the problem. I want it to say NEW when it is new, and then not say new when it is not. Right now, it might say something is new even though I viewed it half an hour ago.

Plus when scanning the list, the label isn't intrusive enough, so if I'm focused on the items themselves, I don't always notice when the items stop being new. Or I have to slow down to pay attention to both the NEW label and the items themselves. That's why I would prefer that it default to only showing new items (as OLWLG did), with a button to temporarily show all the items.

A different approach would be to email me a "new items" notification, which would include a link that would list items #X through #Y, where that was the range of items that were new at that time. That way, the site would only have to track "newness" relative to the email notifications, and not relative to whether or not I had viewed them.
